| The article says homicidal. I sometimes think suicidal when they are riding a grand of bike without a light! Lots of men & women ride lime / forest bikes. The problem with riding your own bike is that it can get stolen or just a piece of it. That happens a few times the hire option becomes more convenient. The assisted peddling is a plus too. They are quite heavy but very nippy. I remember by grand parents cycling one had a tricycle back when cars were very uncommon. But back to the point. Three reasons: Age. We do not fear death and injury so much when we are young. Respect. There is little or no respect these days with other people. Back to Thatcher I'm afraid no society etc. Last: because they can and have done many times without fear of consequences. No law enforcement. Thatcherites again I'm afraid, we just need police for important people. |
